WATER EFFICIENCY
​Improving on-farm water efficiency is essential for sustainable agriculture, helping farmers optimise water use while reducing environmental impact. By adopting smart irrigation technologies, monitoring soil moisture levels, and implementing efficient water management practices, farmers can enhance crop production, conserve resources, and ensure long-term water availability.

How to maximise water efficiency on your farm
TLC and Hawke’s Bay Regional Council hosted a free workshop on on-farm water management, facilitated by Stephen McNally and Vanessa Winning from IrrigationNZ. Their comprehensive presentation on water efficiency provided valuable insights, including charts on soil water retention and the relationship between soil moisture and yield loss. Hyperlinks throughout the presentation offer additional resources for those seeking more detailed information.
